Sore hands they're calling rain
Four stops home
To share your mama's pain
Shine like she does

Worn in but he's out again
Four shots, born to be a ladies' man
Shine like he does, shine like he does
They tell me the world still loves a dreamer

Four nights and fare thee well
Born light, missing one but I won't tell
Shine like he does

Four strings and a broken bow
Life sails, this is all you need to know
Shine like it does, shine like it does
They tell me the world still loves a dreamer

But there's a blue moon on my birthday
And there's a bluebird on the balcony
If I keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on shining

It won't be long before they find me
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on shining

Sore head and I'm calling rain
Full stop, home to meet my mother's pain
Cry like she does, try like she does
Oh, the woman sure loves a loser

And there's a blue moon on my birthday
And there's a bluebird on the balcony
If I keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on shining

It won't be long before they find me
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on shining

Keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on shining
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on shining
